Teleprompter Insider Trades on Kalshi | Raleigh News

A former Trump teleprompter operator allegedly used his backstage access to profit from prediction markets, betting big on speeches — including State of the Union and Davos addresses — before regulators stepped in. Gabriel Perez, who’s been on the job since 2016, reportedly admitted to trades on over a dozen speeches and even backed out mid-speech if Trump skipped a line he’d wagered on. While prosecutors declined criminal charges, the CFTC is pushing for a settlement requiring him to forfeit profits and stop insider betting. Kalshi, the platform, has since tightened rules requiring disclosure of employment — and this isn’t the first time insider trading on such markets has drawn federal attention.
